April at Estes Lake is all runoff and soft footing, the last gray drifts giving way while the yards around Sanford wake up matted and hungry. Pickering Property Services meets the season right there, bringing lawns back into shape and then holding them there with steady mowing straight through the heat of July. The winter half is plowing: driveways, turnarounds and lots pushed back to the pavement so the next thaw has somewhere to go. Property work in a town spread this wide means knowing the long gravel approaches as well as the short village driveways. Homes and businesses across Sanford, Shapleigh and Waterboro are on the list.
